Killadeas is a small
village in County Fermanagh, about 7 miles north of Enniskillen. It
is a thriving tourist area on the edge of Lower Lough Erne with easy
access to Enniskillen, Kesh and Irvinestown.
Near Killadeas, on Lower Lough Erne, is Gublusk Bay which was a RAF
base for Short Sunderland and PBY Catalina flying boats during World
War II. The site is now the home of the Lough Erne Yacht Club.
The Manor House Hotel, a converted and extended 19th century country
manor, is also situated in Killadeas. The Killadeas Estate was
acquired by Captain J Irvine in 1660, and the Manor House,
previously konwn as 'Rockfield' remained part of the Irvine Estate
until 1957, when it was purchased for use as a hotel. The Manor
House, which has seen many alterations to its design over the
centuries, was for a brief period, used as an Officer's Mess and
Headquarters for the American Forces, during World War II |
